The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Fatimah and found a curtain hanging at her door, so he did not enter. Whenever he entered (the house), he would visit her first. Then Ali came and found that Fatimah was grieved. He asked: What is the matter with you? She replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me but did not enter (the house). Ali then came to him and said: Messenger of Allah, Fatimah felt it keenly that you came to visit her but did not go in. He replied: What have I to do with this world? What have I to do with prints and figures (on the curtain)? He (Ali) then went to Fatimah and informed her of what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had said. She said: Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he me to do about it. He (the Prophet) said: Tell her that she must send it to so-and-so.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَتَى فَاطِمَةَ ؓ فَوَجَدَ عَلَى بَابِهَا سِتْرًا فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ قَالَ وَقَلَّمَا كَانَ يَدْخُلُ إِلاَّ بَدَأَ بِهَا فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَرَآهَا مُهْتَمَّةً فَقَالَ مَا لَكِ قَالَتْ جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَىَّ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا أَنَّكَ جِئْتَهَا فَلَمْ تَدْخُلْ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ وَمَا أَنَا وَالدُّنْيَا وَمَا أَنَا وَالرَّقْمَ فَذَهَبَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ قُلْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ قَالَ قُلْ لَهَا فَلْتُرْسِلْ بِهِ إِلَى بَنِي فُلاَنٍ
وَكَانَ سِتْرًا مَوْشِيًّا
